Elevated moisture or rotted balsa? See if the pro will agree to use core other than balsa. Something not susceptible to water ingress and rot. Like Coosa board or Air-X closed cell foam. The issue with at least my model C&C is: Deck does not drain well, loaded track works so mo natter how you bed it, water will get in, and you have balsa inside. It’s a recipe for disaster. Even if you replace with balsa, and bed it properly, it will rot again. I guess you could not go sailing then the water will stay out.
Here is the thread of my repair with some photos. I went with Coosa board. A lot of late nights but it came out great and it will never have to be done again. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f55/replacing-wet-balsa-core-160820.html Petar Horvatic Sundowner 76 C&C 38MkII On the hard at Stanleys in barrington From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2016 10:29 AM To: C&C List Cc: Josh Muckley Subject: Re: Stus-List Baltimore/Annapolis wet deck repair Steve Uthoff at Annapolis Fiberglass and GelCoat rebuilt my rudder.

I would do this repair myself as I understand what needs to be done, however my wife is insisting I leave this job to a very experienced professional. In the affected area I need someone to remove the deck skin, remove the moist core, and replace the core in a 2'x6' area except under the stanchion base and genoa track where I would like it to be replaced with solid epoxy. Then finish the job nicely. Does anyone have any recommendations for work like this?
